“The assaults in the subway are absolutely terrible.'
Victor Mendoza showed where he was attacked and also showed pictures he took while in the hospital after getting stabbed in the leg at the 168th Street subway station in Washington Heights.
He said, “They wanted to rob my wallet, but I defended myself. First I grabbed him from here by the door of the entrance of the train. I pushed. And that’s when the other person came with a knife and hit me here. So I had to let him go so they wouldn’t hurt me more.”About a half an hour later, authorities say a 31-year-old man was assaulted at the 116th Street station near Columbia University.
Those incidents following at least three other New York City stabbings since Friday, all of them sending the victims, two men and a woman, to hospitals for their injuries.
